"It is a token of health and gentle characteristics when women of high thoughts and accomplishments love to sew; especially as they are never more at home with their own hearts than while so occupied." ~ Nathaniel Hawthorne

My Four Year Anniversary! Give Away Time!!

I cannot believe it has been 4 years since I have started blogging! Goodness, where does the time go? I must say, I have not blogged as much as I would like to. I just adore my Grand babies, and try to spend as much time as I can with them, they are truly my pure joy! I still keep busy with my primitives, and try to keep my deadlines current for both my TDIPT and Primitive Handmades Mercantile. I know if I didn't have those dates to keep me motivated, well, I wouldn't get much done! I have just finished another hooked rug, I wish I had more time to "hook", it is so relaxing, and brings so much joy!! I have also been trying to read more!! I used to be an avid reader and have felt guilty I have not kept up with it, my sweet husband gave me a Kindle for Christmas, I am doing my best to read a little every night! My sweet Grand babies love Dr Seuss! So Grandma gets some reading time during the day too! :) I want to thank each and everyone of you who stop in from time to time! I am giving away a sweet little strawberry pin keep! I just love making them! I would love for someone out there to win this,along with the strawberry pin keep I will add some "extra" primitive goodies :), I love surprises, don't you!! So all you need to do is leave a comment! I will draw the winning blogger on June 15th!! I will post the winner that evening!! Thank you again for all your kind comments, I love hearing from you!! I hope this finds you enjoying a lovely sunny day!!

Congrats on 4 years of blogging. I don't blog as much as I used to either, but I am so glad that I found the blogging community. I have "met" so many kind & generous people & learned so much. I would love to be entered for a chance to win your beautiful pin keep.
